Minor in Arts Administration

An optional minor in Arts Administration is offered under the College of Fine Arts.

Departmental Requirements

A minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA in art is a required prerequisite to junior and senior level studio art, graphic design and art education courses. After entrance into upper division courses, a minimum 2.5 GPA must be maintained as a prerequisite to further advanced enrollment. An annual qualifying portfolio review is required for all students wishing to continue in the Graphic Design program, whether they are Graphic Design majors or not; the student may be required to repeat courses or be removed from the Graphic Design program.

Field Trips

Field trips may be required by instructors as a part of the content of any course. Every effort will be made to ensure that these trips do not conflict with other portions of the student's schedule.

Honors Program

Art and Art History majors who plan to pursue Departmental Honors must be members of the Honors Program and should enroll in ART 30003 during their junior year and ART 40003 during the fall semester of their senior year.

Transfer Students

Transfer students must have a 2.5 minimum GPA in art and must present a portfolio or photographs or slides of their work for evaluation by the Art Department at least one week prior to registration or at time of advisement in order to determine level of competency.

Declaration of a Major

The department requires students to declare a major during or before the second semester of their sophomore year. Students majoring in Studio Art must also declare a concentration in Ceramics, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, or Sculpture. Students planning to major in Studio Art or Art Education must submit a portfolio of work to department faculty. A portfolio that meets with faculty approval is required before permission will be given to register in upper division classes. Students who do not meet departmental standards may enroll for Art 20970, Intermediate Studio, for up to 6 semester hours of credit to improve both grade point average and portfolio before making another submission to the faculty. Once a concentration is declared, a faculty adviser from that area will be assigned, and a sequence of courses to be taken will be formulated.

Student Exhibitions

Both graduate and undergraduate student exhibitions take place at various times during the year in the University Art Gallery-TCU. No work may be removed from exhibitions without departmental approval. Students must claim their work at the end of each exhibition. The Department cannot accept responsibility for the care, storage, or distribution of student work.
